historical help needed

Ok, this is going to sound a little odd out of context, but I need some help before later this evening if possible.

Does anyone have any information about the charge of heresy as it applied before the Reformation Parliament in England of 1529?

I know that Thomas More had already burned approximately 6 people before the start of Parliament at the time and that his means for doing so weren't very legitimate, since he used Star Court to get his convictions. But, I mainly need to know about the procedures followed by the ecclesiastical courts to bring about the charge of heresy and what constitutes evidence at this point in time.

Also, if anyone has any good sources, that would be greatly appreciated.

Heresy charges were heard in the ecclesiastical courts and the proceedings were governed by Roman canon law. Only after a conviction was the heretic handed over to the civil authorities for the sentence to be carried out.The Court of Star Chamber was a royal prerogative court whose jurisdiction lay in cases of treason and sedition. I don't believe it would have heard a heresy case as that was the preserve of the ecclesiastical courts.

Also, maybe you can google some of the people or manuscripts discussed.

Thank you so much; that helps a lot!

Also, inuman, I thank you for your comment, though without knowing the amount of research I have already done on this and many other topics in this era, I'm going excuse you for not knowing and being rude. But please, next time you see someone asking for information on a topic, assume that they have already done enough research on it before hand that they could then have the need to search out other venues from which to find knowledge.

I really don't care either way if you excuse me or not, if you've done enough of the leg work might as well finish it all then. You can think I'm being rude but I'm not I was being honest, rude would have been something like oh I don't know like this

*insert picture of the bird being flipped*

but there wasn't was there? no I said go to the library and research it. How hard was that? I mean seriously if you were serious about it then you wouldn't be asking us to assist you in finishing it, you could have google, wikipedia, or all the other search engines out there in cyber space.

Me thinks you were just doing it out of some sort of way to find some common ground with like minded guys but again that's just my two cents on the matter

Hey, Archangel, I actually thought it was cool you asking a non-sexual question, very nice for once that a topic was a bit different.

Inuman, you are a fucking, ignoramous. Go peddle your idiocy somewhere else. The guy had a legitimate question. Maybe he had exhausted all the relevent avenues of research, and wanted to reach out to other, more intelligent RJer's for a little more help...
